Oh, that was totally my move too! I would do that with bars as well. I feel like I was even trying to trick myself into believing, “I just had a couple drinks at this place, and a couple at that place.” Trying not to think about the fact that I had been to, like, eight places.
So much more self-honesty with sobriety.

Heyho friends, checking in on day 269. Went to the psychiatrist today. Still trying to juggle treatment for depression and anxiety with medication side effects. The high dose SNRI works a treat, but gives me high blood pressure.
Psychiatrist doesn’t think it’s autism spectrum (but no official neuropsych tests), but rather major depression and social anxiety disorder together with an attention deficit component. So I got that goin’ for me.
Surpringly not too sore from skating yesterday. Made dinner and watched some news. Time to get the kiddos in bed. Hope everyone is having a great start to the week.

900 days! Riding the waves of sobriety. More downs than ups lately but I know a drink or a drug will only make it worse. At least my relationship is getting better. Hoping to see the light at the end of this long ass tunnel soon.
Thank you for the reminder @Its_me_Stella and congrats to you on 800 days! Woo hoo! I love the fact that we’ll always be 100 days apart.

Evening check in
Day21
Today was a much better today. Why? Bcuz I stopped fighting. Basically that is the jist of it. Instead of trying to control situations and people around me, and fight every little thing that wasnt going my way… I leaned on my HP and I leaned on acceptance. Acceptance is key to all my problems today.
Coming up to Day 22 in 3 hours. I’m trying not to be too excited about my previous 25 day clean streak that I am going to pass this time around… but I am damn proud. From my lowest point of working the sex trade, shooting drugs, and taking drugs to combat side effects of other drugs, stuck in a vicious cycle… to being clean from all mind altering substances, happy, and free from the bondage of self… I am sooo proud of where I am. It’s taken me a hell of a long time, but it’s true that it’s never too late to change and we are never too far gone to make a 360 degree turn on our life! Damn I’m excited!!! Recovery is incredible!!!

Day 6 of no self harm.
I have nothing to say today. I’m so exhausted. I haven’t slept more than a few hours in weeks. I haven’t been eating. My body just feels awful. Just so weak. I’d talk about it more but I really don’t have the energy to type an explanation or rant out.

Let go and let God… Tonight I got two messages on fb from two different ppl in my tattoo groups, one asking where I’ve been bc they haven’t seen my post and love my work and if I ever wanted to chat or ask qs to feel free. The other person gave me a free download to his course on tattooing bc he really loved my style… When I sit here and think about quitting God always shows me little signs
